If you've never seen it before, it's a very funny quiz show presented by Mark Watson Tim Key, and Alex Horne based on their Edinburgh show

For those who have seen it before, great news! The show will be back for a much longer 13 episode series on Tuesday, 10pm BBC4

Ah good. Not a patch on the live version, but still lots of fun. The boyf and I went to the first pilot and had to watch a quiz show built very much on the idea of it being unfair being torn apart by an overcautious producer. Tim Key was asked to make sure he was adding only one egg per round to the hands of Clare Balding and Jimmy Carr. Contrast that to the live show physical rounds where one contestant is asked to count the number of beans in a tin of baked beans and sausages, and the other contestant being asked to count the number of sausages in a tin of baked beans and sausages.

This is brilliant news. I really enjoyed the first series. There's something about the way Tim Key's chair stops abruptly that gets me every time.

I have to agree with that. Even thinking about it makes me giggle
